20 Certified Organic Acres

Stewardship of the Land

A Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) Farmland Preservation grant funded Snohomish County’s purchase of development rights, turning the estate into a permanent agricultural conservation easement. Farmland Preservation protects valuable farmland and habitat for recreationally important animals, like salmon, birds, deer, and elk. These projects allow farmers to continue farming the land and provide Washingtonians with healthy local food and a diverse economy. The farmland has been actively involved in Riparian Protection restoration projects and is certified as salmon-safe.

Supports a Wide Array of Uses

First cultivated by a visionary chef-farmer to support his passionate culinary interests and projects, the farmland lends itself to bold re-envisioning, limited only by your imagination. The existing built environment supports a wide array of uses. An existing septic tank on the estate could potentially support a five-bedroom residence. Buyers interested in building a personal residence on the estate are encouraged to undertake a feasibility study to explore the acquisition of construction rights from Snohomish County.
